and, from back in the day..."Mississippi Senator Theodore Bilbo [Democrat] declared "If the poll tax bill passes, the next step will be an effort to remove the registration qualification, the educational qualification of Negroes. If that is done we will have no way of preventing the Negroes from voting."[7"
The type of fraud a voter ID would prevent does not exist. The Supreme Court made it clear that they know Republicans are doing this for purely partisan reasons, but, the Court just doesn't care.

E mail I got from the MS Secretary of State reminding me to vote:
Some tips for Election Day:
Polling Location: This is especially important for first-time voters. Your voter registration card lists your proper polling location. If you are not sure of your polling location, visit the “Polling Locator†on the Secretary of State’s website at www.sos.ms.gov or contact your local Circuit Clerk.
Identification: If you are a first time, unverified registrant who registered by mail, and you did not provide a Help America Vote Act (HAVA)-approved form of identification with your application federal law requires you to show identification acceptable to the HAVA standards. According to HAVA, the following are acceptable forms of identification: a copy of a current and valid photo ID, a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or government document that shows the name and address of the voter.
Attire: It is against the law for any candidate or candidate’s representative to distribute campaign literature within 150 feet of a polling location. It is the position of the Office of the Secretary of State that wearing clothing with a candidate’s name and/or picture on it or other campaign paraphernalia within 150 feet of a polling location constitutes the posting of campaign literature and is prohibited.
Sample Ballot: A 2012 Primary Election sample ballots are available on the Secretary of State’s website.

Judge struck down the Photo ID requirement in Wisconsin yesterday.
"A government that undermines the very foundation of its existence – the people’s inherent, pre-constitutional right to vote – imperils its legitimacy as a government by the people, for the people, and especially of the people. It sows the seeds for its own demise as a democratic institution. . . . This is precisely what 2011 Wisconsin Act 23 does with its photo ID mandates."

"Inherent pre-constitutional" would be an oxymoron.
People without formal 'rights' cannot have inherent ones.
And even when they have that right in writing, they are best served by having the voting be done by fellow citizens, not 25 million illegal immigrants.
I think th judge is wrong.

You seem willing to restrict the voting ability of many Americans in order to keep illegals from voting.
Are you willing to give up your vote as the cost of keeping an illegal from voting? Or is the damage done by illegals voting not worth that cost?
Always disappointing to see politicians spend great time and effort making it more difficult to vote.

So we want as many as possible voting? So when I see posts about crappy voters and people not voting the right way I can point and laugh at them?

How so restrict ? Providing each person of voting age a method of legal proof that they are entitled to vote isn't that difficult (as I and Afio already linked, those 2 and many jurisdictions provide avenues wherein voters can easilly 'prove' elegibility).
This wah wah wah about restriction is a Red Herring - anyone so stupid that they cannot meet some simple requirements to obtain proof shouldn't be allowed to walk and chew gum, never mind vote.

You can do anything you want to...but....
Disagreeing with your choices on a subject and taking action to eliminate your ability to choose are two very different things.

Waiting to hear how keeping illegals from voting in America makes it impossible for actual Americans to vote...
